The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Simmering butternut squash in apple cider adds a little sweetness to this rich and creamy soup.
serves/makes:
ready in:
1-2 hrs
1-2 hrs
ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
3 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 leek, white part only, sliced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups apple cider
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
salt and black pepper, to taste
heavy cream or sour cream
freshly grated nutmeg
directions
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the squash, leek, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until the leek is soft.
Add the apple cider and ginger. Bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and cook for 1 hour or until the squash is very tender.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the squash cool slightly. Add 1 cup of the broth to the squash, then transfer the mixture to a blender and puree (in batches if needed). Return the soup to the saucepan.
Add the remaining broth to the soup. Bring the soup to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the soup among individual soup bowls. Drizzle each serving with cream or sour cream and sprinkle with grated nutmeg. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
